Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Investigation determined that the cause of the tubing not staying clamped was attributed to the tip (point) of the clip.The tip is seated within the "teeth" of the clip to keep the clip engaged/closed.As the tip was not sharp/pointy enough, this allowed the point to detach from the teeth resulting in the reported issue.The issue appears to be isolated to a very small number of clips.We have notified our supplier, and will continue to monitor post-market data for trends.
